DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO COMPUTER SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM - Thursday, June 6, 1985. Dr. I. Bruha of Acadia University will speak on ``One System of Structure Learning Implemented in PROLOG.'' TIME: 3:30 PM ROOM: MC 6091A (Please Note) ABSTRACT The author will firstly discuss the main approaches to representation of patterns and different types of learning systems: feature, syntax, structural and rule-based approaches. Three concrete examples of structure learning systems (Winston, Shapiro, Bratko), all being implemented in PROLOG, will be explained. Afterwards, the author's system of a knowledge acquisi- tion for an expert system will be presented. There exist many approaches to knowledge acquisition; one possibility is to utilize PROLOG and its deduction pro- perty for the structure learning. PROLOG can be used both for acquisition of production rules from examples and for testing. Expert systems usually involve fuzzy information but the language PROLOG does not process numbers in a good manner. Therefore the author has implemented an extended version PROLOG, called PROLOGTRAN. The learn- ing system, implemented in this language, can easily process both structural and numerical information.
